Tuesday was the big day. We went to the ocean!
First we went to Beaufort and the Maritime Museum. Beaufort was evidently the home of the infamous Blackbeard, and the museum had an interesting display about him and his history. The museum was interesting.
This was a maritime library the older boys had some particular interest in,
Ashlyn takes the helm.
There were several different boats on display. Here are some sailboats.
This one is specifically for Uncle Aaron, because Maryn thought he would like it.
One of the volunteers unlocked this diving bell for us so we could see inside. Here is Jennie halfway in :)
And here is the view from the inside: I didn't get the pic, but they had little TV's sitting outside the little round windows with movies of fish swimming past.
Then we walked down the little boardwalk and browsed around some shops. It was a little touristy, but that's what cute beachfront towns are for, right? We bought fudge, and the girls got seashell necklaces.
And we got to see some boats.
